The Prague councilors approved the regulation that the heating in buildings owned and used by the capital will only be 22 degrees. It will be 19 degrees in the common rooms, as well as in the sports halls. Some city districts also want to save, but each in a different way.
Hot water will flow only in some buildings
The proposal, submitted by Councilor Jana Chabra (TOP 09) and Deputy Mayor Jana Plamínková (STAN), responds to the energy crisis and provides for adjustments as a temporary regime. The text mentions the effort “to mitigate the impact of this serious situation on the city’s budget and at the same time contribute to the national commitment to reduce natural gas consumption.“
In offices, people will sit at 22 degrees, where they will move only part of the day, then it will be 19 degrees.

It will be 24 degrees in the swimming pools during opening hours, 19 degrees in the sports halls, and after closing time the heating will be reduced by three degrees.
“Hot water will continue to be provided only in health and social facilities, as well as in the showers of sports facilities and residential buildings,” it says in the document. Water temperature will be at least 50-55 degrees to prevent Legionella.
Number one will check if it is overheating
The town halls of the city districts have also prepared plans for how to behave during the energy crisis. “During the heating inspection, the management of the city district and the town hall will check whether some rooms are not heating unnecessarily or whether they are not heating in the long term.” spokeswoman Jednička informed the editors of Pražská Drbna Peter Bidlo.
The town hall recommends the same temperatures as the municipality and will check, it does not overheat here. “However, our heating system does not allow lowering the temperature in heated rooms in larger units. Individual rooms will be checked in this way,” Bidlo added.

“we need to use new technologies, we have introduced automated remote energy readings in buildings managed by city districts, we have optimized locations, in selected buildings and in schools we had the heating systems cleaned before the start of the heating season, etc. We also implement gradual insulation of municipal flats, schools and nurseries in order to minimize heat losses,” described the spokeswoman of the second district of the city Andrea Zoulová.

Five low temperature in the toilet and in the corridors
In a single year, the municipality of Prague 4 purchased both gas and electricity for its collection points, with a fixed price of 3 years in the case of electricity and 1 year in the case of gas.
“Of course, considering the price of energy, and probably for a long time, we will respect the recommended temperature. In previous years, we insulated the school buildings, which will certainly bring significant savings in their heating.” a spokesman for Ctyřka told the editors Jiří Bigas.

“We plan to limit the heating in the workplaces of our office to a temperature of 21 degrees in the winter.
